Setting up this router was easy, the dedicated app walked me through all the steps. I was able to get it up and running in around 10 minutes. The range is impressive—I'm able to get a strong, reliable signal throughout my two-story home. In terms of performance, it’s more than capable of supporting multiple HD video streams simultaneously without any noticeable buffering or lag, making it ideal for households with heavy streaming or multiple connected devices.

Title: Great
Description: Easy to install. Works great. Very fast on all our devices. So glad we upgraded from our old Netgear. It always worked well for 6 years. The new one is even faster. The range and signal strength is great. Works in all rooms of a large house.

This router was easy to set-up and extremely fast. It replaced an older model that wasn’t fully keeping up with the latest speeds available with fiber. The only critique is the unit is a bit tall, we previously had a “flatter” router with antennas on our entertainment stand, but had to put this on the floor next to the stand as it looked way out of place. Check the dimensions to make sure it fits what you have room for. Otherwise, awesome router that packs a big punch!

I procrastinated for years to get a stand alone modem and a stand alone router. I always went for convenience of the modem/router combo. Well the difference is a huge upgrade. The new router is very reliable, the range is more than enough and the speeds are amazing. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase.

This new router's awesome! My old Asus was dropping signal constantly, making working from home a pain. Traded it in at Best Buy using my warranty – so glad I did! It's super fast and reliable, exactly what I needed.

Easy setup and works well with Xfinity. The best thing was giving the gateway back to Xfinity and the dark cloud is gone. Should have done it years ago.

Hardware is good

I would have given it 5 stars but for the set up and a few other blips.
The set up with the nighthawk app is not good.
Maybe they have fixed it?
But probably just do a manual set up.
If you are willing to set up a network you know enough to make this chore simple.
Problem is that on the initial set up the username and password Fields are greyed out.
If you click on the username field it stays greyed out.
If you click on the password word field to the direct right of the username field it will let you change the password word but it is unintuitive to click the password field after seeing the username field is unaccessible due to being greyed out...
After the password is set the rest is super simple if you have ever set up a router before and still super simple and easy to figure out if have are new to the experience.
Nighthawk app is spam and just a annoying life lock like business strategy as far as I can see.
Also for the duration of the free trial of Netgear armour I had an issue with losing internet for like 30 seconds during a point in the nine o'clock hours.
Both am and pm.
It was odd.
I suspect it was Netgear armor connecting to a server and sharing it's findings...
After the trial expired the internet loss seemed to go away.
But I did change a minor setting in the router around that time as well so it could have been that?
Probably the the netgear armour thing though...
Good router though.
Handles streaming games to twitch at 1080p just fine.
Also handles multiple high resolution devices all at the same time just fine.
I would recommend.
Just don't use Netgear armour and don't use nighthawk app.
I give them negative 5 stars...
The hardware is solid so far.

Netgear is always a solid choice for wifi equipment. Out previous router went out at the office after almost a decade of use. Our IT specialist suggested this model since it was similar to what we had.
We haven't had an issue yet with dropped or slow service.
